24 high-severity fixes in this history; regressions here are high-impact.

Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Deserialization: Multiple fixes target the serialization allowlist logic, including generic type traversal, prefix matching with trailing dots, and trust-level defaults. Bypassing these checks can lead to RCE via unsafe class instantiation.

Deserialization of Untrusted Data: The blocklist was broadened from sun.rmi.server./transport. to sun.rmi., closing a known gadget chain. Incomplete blocklists are a direct RCE vector.

Auth Bypass: Missing return after removing TLS handler when AuthPolicy.NONE allowed plaintext connections to bypass authentication. This affects both netty4 and REST SSL handlers, indicating a shared logic flaw.
